Short: xpdf(0.6) - a Portable Document Format viewer (X11 port) 020
Uploader: terjepe@login.eunet.no
Author: Derek B. Noonburg(derekn@ece.cmu.edu)/Terje Pedersen (Amiga port)
Type: gfx/show
This is an (no changes) port of an X11 program called xpdf version 0.6:
Xpdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These are
also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from the name of Adobe's
PDF software.) Xpdf runs under UNIX or VMS and the X Window System.
And as it turns out now also on the amiga..
This version support pdf format 1.2 which isn't the latest
version of the format..
I guess it is worth mentioning that the program needs a lot of memory.
You should be able to get away with a 'small' workbench either directly
or through the command line argument -geometry.
Fixes:
Resizing now works properly.
Redrawing of buttons is now correct. (XPeekIfEvent deleted and reinserted
events if they weren't the right one, which messed up the event sequence).
Command line arguments works. (Implemented XrmParseCommand).
Internal allocation of TmpRas wasn't correct which could cause problems
with some .pdf files (ie crash..).
Added the neccessary libX11 files. If you have accidentally downloaded
some of my previous ports (..) you will probably already have them..
Assign libx11: to the libx11 directory and do any chances to amigadefaults
if needed (read more about it in docs/libx11.readme).
TP
PS:
This version uses gzip to uncompress data so you'll need this program
somewhere in your path. Chances are gzip is available on aminet..
And consequently there is no need to look for the elusive 'uncompress'
program..
